Most of the illustrations are in black, white, and red, with usually just one other color thrown in that varies from book to book. There are also lots of stripes used throughout the books in Olivia's and her brothers' outfits. This is the outfit we were particularly inspired by from Olivia's Opposites (although I think this illustration was probably taken from Olivia Counts).

And there's nothing to make a kid fall in love with a book than letting them dress up like the character.

I wanted to make something that would be fun and inspired by the illustrations, but not look like a "costume," so she could wear it when she starts kindergarten.

These striped red tights that I bought a couple years ago for Katie and always regret when the girls wear them to church because the clash with every dress they own I'm so glad I picked up a couple years ago because they work for this as well as our Dr. Seuss outfits.
